However, his acquittal may give him some solace. He may also file any case for damages against the prosecutrix, if advised,&#8221; the judge added.<\/p>\n<p>The court also observed that his plight may continue even after his acquittal as &#8220;his implication may have caused an uproar in society but his acquittal may not even be noticed. &#8230; He will continue to suffer the stigma of being a rape case accused.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the prosecution, on November 1 last year, the accused allegedly entered the complainant&#8217;s house, raped her at knife point and threatened to kill her son if she disclosed the incident to anyone.<\/p>\n<p>However, in her cross-examination in court, she deposed that she had lodged a false case under pressure from her husband as he had monetary dispute with the accused.<\/p>\n<p>The judge, while acquitting the man, also observed if a person, who has been freed of rape charge but has remained in custody for long, should be termed as &#8220;rape survivor&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The complainant, a woman or a girl who is alive, who has levelled allegations of rape by a man is now called a rape survivor. In the present case, the accused has been acquitted of the charge of rape after trial, as the prosecutrix retracted and turned hostile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the circumstances, an acquitted accused, who remained in custody for a considerable period during inquiry and trial and who has been acquitted honourably, should he now be addressed as a rape case survivor? This leaves us with much to ponder about the present day situation of the veracity of the rape cases,&#8221; the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>During the trial, the accused had pleaded innocence and claimed he was falsely implicated by the woman.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inread\">\u00a0( Source &#8211; PTI)<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Delhi court today acquitted a man accused of rape after the woman retracted her charge and said it may not be possible to restore the accused&#8217;s dignity and honour or compensate him for the &#8220;humiliation, misery, distress and monetary loss&#8221;.
